Pep's Squad Aim to Return to Winning Ways in Top Division, Women's National Team Taking the Field

City's Manager Claims Manchester City of Playing with Fear in European Setback

Manchester City are aiming to bounce back when they welcome Leeds United later today after suffering back-to-back matches against Newcastle United in the English top flight and Bayer Leverkusen in the European competition.

Perhaps my expectations exceed their self-belief. It was a good lesson for me, despite my managerial experience this will inform my future approach.

The Manchester City manager is likely to recall those he rested against the German team when facing Leeds United.

Leeds Aim to Regain Momentum at City's Home Ground

Leeds aim to turn things around at the home of Manchester City with Daniel Farke’s position in question. His side are 18th in the table of the Premier League, and after this match, a pivotal week approaches for the German who, just months ago, celebrated promotion from the EFL Championship.

To be frank, the current situation is tough; there's plenty of negativity. Yet I'm not avoiding this. I knew about how passionate this organization is from the outset. When the going gets tough don’t become manager of Leeds United. It wasn't my assumption this season to be an simple task.
